Aprelium at UN Internet Summit in Tunisia?

[omaronly]

Title says it all; Aprelium, did you guys get a chance to attend any of the sessions?

omaronly,

Unfortunately no. Most of the talks were about topics related to politics, Internet governance, and utopian projects such as "A laptop for every child" (http://laptop.media.mit.edu/ ). There were no technical sessions that could interest the developers we are.

We're really looking forward for a similar summit where people developing Internet technologies will meet. Sun's co-founder has already launched the idea: http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1299339211;fp;16;fpid;0 .

Maybe a free, very-small footprint webserver [know any? ;-) ] would be useful in internet social projects, like a mobile, embedded webserver (wiMax.. someday) on the mesh-network $100 laptops or circumventing government censorship of the "official" internet. I'm not too sure such intentions would attract the attention you're looking for, though...

omaronly,

Several people can benefit from software with a small footprint like ours. It can help reducing for example the money spent on buying hardware in developing countries. Coupled with other technologies it can do even more to make information available at a larger scale without restrictions.
But as you guess it, it will go sometimes against some established monopolies and local laws in many parts of the world.
